This might be an appreciated outcome of a moral theory of justice, yet it doesn't take normally from the model of judicious decision under obliviousness. In the event that self-interested balanced decision is what is at issue, it is difficult to perceive how the topic of probabilities would altogether be able to be stayed away.
In the event that the likelihood of winding up as a slave were sufficiently little, it would not be reasonable for the parties to pick a system including slavery on the off chance that it passed on sufficiently huge different advantages. For reasons of this kind, the choice decision component in Rawls' model has been greatly condemned.
There is additionally a vital inquiry of what the goods are, as far as which the parties should settle on their discerning decision. Reasonable decision theory, in its common uses, typically takes a shot at a premise of utility or individual welfare, and this is an element of the agents' inclinations and tastes.
The contracting parties don't have any known individual inclinations or tastes, so this isn't accessible to them. Rawls influences his parties to pick by reference to a rundown of primary goods, which are liberty and opportunity, wage and riches, and the bases of self-respect.

These goods are given by what he calls the thin theory of the good, the thought is that these are goods that everybody will need on the off chance that they need anything. Yet, the inquiry is more intricate than this. The rundown of primary goods does not conceivably look as though it had been collected essentially from the thought that they are exceptionally vital for seeking after anything.
From that thought we are not liable to infer more than liberty. It is difficult to see, likewise, how the parties could keep away from the reflection that some of these primary goods, remarkably money, are more vital in a few social orders than in others.
Why are primary goods?
It isn't actually outlandish for parties with no known specific inclinations to pick one social state over another. We could assume them to pick a circumstance in which they get a greater amount of what they lean toward in that circumstance than they do of what they favor in different circumstances.

This is what is finished by R. M. Hare in developing an utilitarian theory. Such correlations may to be sure be whimsical, yet that isn't Rawls' complaint to their utilization in the original position. Or maybe, he hosts declined to give his gatherings a chance to think only as far as what they would favor in the different social circumstances.
His parties are hesitant, as we really may be, to consider a circumstance worthy since they would think that its satisfactory in the event that they were in it. So regardless of whether the social sciences let us know, as in certainty they are probably not going to let us know, that most slaves are substance to be free from freedom, this would not give the parties motivation to pick slavery.
From the outlook of free individuals freely picking a country, this isn't an alternative. Rawls has the right, undoubtedly is right, to convey such feelings into his moral theory, yet they are not best spoke to by the apparatus of discerning decision sent under specific states of numbness. The primary goods may maybe be better found as far as a key moral origination of the individual, and Rawls himself has now moved toward this path.
